choice A is the lowest rate

Answer 2

A.6 ounces of raisins for $1.49

Explanation:

We have to find which unit rate is the lowest price per ounce.

To find unit rate we will divided the total cost by total amount

A.6 ounces of raisins for $1.49

Unit rate=
`(1.49)/(6)`

Unit rate=$0.25/ounce

B.13 ounces of raisins for $3.59

Unit rate=
`(3.59)/(13)`

Unit rate=$0.28/ounce

The price per ounce for 6 ounces of raisins for $1.49 is lowest.

Hence, option A is true.
